Abstract
The article has focused on two case studies. It analyzed two gang rapes/ multiple perpetrator rape cases involving three offenders and one victim; how the situation unfolded and led to serious consequences. In one case, the men wanted to take revenge from the landlord so, for them gang raping their daughter was the most fitting method of settling a score. In another case, the relative felt that he owned the woman as he had spent lot on her, so he offered her as booty to
his friends in order to make her pay. In both the cases, the offenders wanted to disgrace the victim; they never felt disgraced of committing gang rape against the victim. The victim assistance programs are also discussed to lessen the effect of trauma on such survivors.
